It somehow channels the nostalgia of its predecessor.” Despite the evolution of cinematic storytelling and production methods, the essence of portraying an action hero remains steadfast. Recalling his own journey, Shetty reminisced about a time when the requisites for being a “good actor” were distinct. He reflected, “In our early days, producers often suggested that actors with imposing physiques should play the roles of antagonists. Much has transformed since then. The present expectation is that heroes should possess well-sculpted bodies. Hence, the younger generation believes that having a chiseled physique is paramount if one aspires to enter the cinematic realm today.”
